Research
Professor Cambou’s primary research interests are in cyber-security, how to apply microelectronics and nanotechnologies to strengthen hardware security, and post quantum cryptographic systems. At NAU he is PI of research programs on the design of novel cryptographic based on Memristors, MRAMs and ReRAM. He worked in the smartcard industry at Gemplus (now Gemalto), and in the POS/secure payment industry at Ingenico. He spent 15 years at Motorola Semiconductor (now NXP-Freescale) where he served in multiple capacities including CTO and was named “Distinguished Innovator” and scientific advisor of the Board of Director. He is a senior member of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) with 80 granted and pending patents in nanotechnology and cybersecurity, and an Inventor Ambassador of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
